Apocrypha: Psalm 13 Poem by Gert Strydom

(after Totius)

You plant me like a tree at a place where there is water
of every word, act and urge of mine You do bare knowledge
and from prehistoric times long before I existed You did know me,
even before my days and times were reckoned out in Your love
and nothing that I do and am are missing in Your knowledge
where even destiny and governments do bend to Your will,
in abundance under Your trust and Your mercy and care my days are,
day upon day You do bring my life to meaning,
of every word, act and urge of mine You do bare knowledge.
